Within the core of Mariahilferstrasse,
Vienna’s largest shopping district, cars have
been eliminated altogether.

3. The core zone is bookended by street sections
that have been reduced from four lanes to two in
order to accommodate wider sidewalks.

4. In keeping with the overall cleanliness of the
street, waste bins are strategically located
every few metres.

5. Textured walking networks for the
visually impaired can be found
throughout Vienna.

6. An abundance of benches and seating areas help make
Mariahilferstrasse more of a meeting area and not just a place to shop.

7. There are plenty of places to park here… for bikes that is.

8. Thanks to the city’s extensive
public transit system which
continues to grow, it’s no longer
necessary to own a car.
